Spring in Japan just goes so damn fast. I know I talk about the seasons a lot, but coming from a one-season town like LA I just can’t get over the marvel of having four distinct seasons.

I’ve held back on posting anything recently because, adding to the lack of motivation and inspiration that I currently feel, I just didn’t know what I could possibly add to the COVID-19 pandemic conversation.

New Year’s Eve in Japan is pretty different from in other places. Here, it’s a quiet, spiritual, family-oriented holiday, and time is spent gathered at home or going to local temples and shrines to pay one’s respects.
